Fu Sheng took his children and came downstairs. He didn't even want to inform his sister about their return, but Fu Guhua saw them when they came down. "Brother, why are you leaving? Rong'er is still unwell. How could you leave? Who will take care of her if you leave for work?" Fu Guhua was clearly flustered. She couldn't allow Fu Rong to leave to make sure her plan to steal her luck succeeded. Only then would her daughter's life be good.
She didn't know Fu Rong had warned her brother, and now he was in high alert mode. Every action of hers was making him suspicious, and her anxiety didn't escape Fu Sheng's eyes. He was not a fool. How could a man who single-handedly led his mediocre company to great heights without any help from his siblings and parents be a fool? Seeing Fu Guhua's loss of composure and her acting confirmed his suspicions. He confirmed that she was planning to steal his property, which clearly belonged to him and his kids.
Fu Sheng's family was originally a middle-class family and had a mediocre business. He didn't want to fight with his siblings for that, and he was not interested in that industry. So he and his wife started a business on their own, built it with their hard work and strategy, and took it to great heights. Why would they share it with others instead of their kids?
Unknown to him, Fu Guhua not only planned to steal his wealth but also his daughter's luck. That's the reason she was flustered. If he had known what she was planning, he might really have killed her rather than leaving a thorn outside that might hurt his little daughter.
Fu Sheng quickly came up with a reason to avoid suspicion. "Sister, Rong'er got hurt on her head. She is really in pain. I need to take her to the hospital. Since she needs to recuperate, I might stay with her for some time to check on her. I feel comfortable in my house to work and take care of her with ease."
Though Fu Guhua tried, she didn't get a reason to refute. She needed to be patient to achieve her goal. Anyway, after some time her brother would leave his daughter back again to take care of her. So she acted as though she was considerate and understanding.
Every single calculation in her eyes never escaped Fu Sheng's eyes. His heart turned cold. His adopted sister, who used to be kind and sweet, was nothing but a vile woman full of schemes. How many years had he been cheated by this woman? Without his daughter's warning, he might still have believed her to be a kind sister and would have lost his wealth and made his kids paupers. He was really blind. No... his parents were really blind to bring her into the family. He sighed in his heart.
After Fu Sheng left with his kids, he brought them to an Imperial restaurant. Since he was a member of that hotel, he got a private room after waiting. Fu Rong quietly ordered what she needed. After the food arrived, she tasted everything and smiled heavenly. Looking at his daughter, who was smiling happily over some food, Fu Sheng was worried. How many days had she been starved or gone without seeing good food to make her happy for this simple meal? He might not have known that, as a ghost for 1,000 years, she didn't have anyone to burn offerings for her, and she was literally starved. The food she had was only leftovers.
"Rong'er, eat slowly. Don't choke yourself." Seeing her cough with food in her mouth, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, Dad, I will be careful..." Saying that, Fu Rong was back to eating mode.
